So you want to contact the same address and get a reply from a different person ? that's not the way __personal__ email address work...
Sorry, but to us (users) your address is a business address - even if it can be used for others uses (I try not to with mine's). It was an address @novell, which this time was used strictly for business.
If a person leaves the company, for whatever reason, that address remains with the company, and is the responsibility of the company to give some kind of redirection help to the users or clients still posting to the now not working business address. It is typical to put an autoresponder with contact info: it can be the general info contact address, to whom you write, and they tell you the new person for that task - so as not to hand out indiscriminately addresses.
But your current behavior of ignoring the issue or downtalking people when you don't like their criticism is not... I don't have words to classify that behavior. Disgusting.
The issue so far is:
A person complains that he had a contact person at novell from whom he got SLES for betatesting, that contact person disappeared, and nobody at novell wants to tell him who to speak to now.
Nice.
That is what has been said here. If that is not true, then the OP can tell otherwise, or someone from novell can say "yes, we contacted him in private, all is solved". No need to specify here your "secrets".
Its perhaps also due to the fact that we do not want Andrew as Beta Tester anymore, since he did not adhere to our Beta Test rules.
If you do not work with us according to these rules (and they are not that problematic), you will not get help.
Ciao, Marcus
It would be common courtesy to tell the beta tester (Andrew in this case) that you didn't want anymore help or that you didn't need his services anymore rather than ignoring his messages or removing the contact mailbox or giving snide, discourteous comments to that beta tester in a semi-public forum. As he had been given a contact point, had a copy of the beta for SLED (not generally available), so unless you are also calling him a thief, it would seem he had been accepted and if now not needed or wanted any longer, the courtesy of some kind of notification seems in order.
I haven't seen a whole lot of common courtesy here lately.
I only got parts of the pictures by asking around, I have not the full picture. And this forum is for _openSUSE_, as others have said. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
